re: #371 Brother Holy Cruise Missile of Mild Acceptance

meh, I think people have the wrong idea of what “hell” is. Given that what we think of as “hell” was really an invention of the middle ages and writers such as Dante (can’t remember how to spell his last name but read the inferno). It’s a means to scare the bejesus out of people so they’d do what the church dictated.

Not really.

And if your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life crippled than to have two feet and be thrown into hell. And if your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell, where “‘the worms that eat them do not die, and the fire is not quenched.’
